The good: Athletic senior linebacker has been a very productive and versatile defender. He has the athleticism that NFL scouts want in a premier pro linebacker. He runs well and make tackles sideline to sideline. In run support, he combines both quickness and power to grade out high. He has the ability to shed and slip blockers. Over his final season, he displayed improvement in his ability to drop in coverage and make plays on the ball. When he plays with high intensity, he can make plays late on the down that others never finish. He has improved his instincts late in his career.The bad: He is still raw in pass coverage, and that probably limits him to a two-down player.
